Hello all so my torsion bar is cranked to 24 instead of 23.5 does that half inch make a difference in driving? If so do I need to lower the t bar half an inch? Not sure if that half an inch makes a big difference when driving over things

Yes it does . 23.5 is the tallest you can go before you start having drive line issues . Yes that extra 1/2 inch makes a difference in the angles of the half shafts and how long they will last.

Some people run 24. I guess it depends to on if your running 35's as well. Heavier tires is more stress as well. The wise ones say 23 1/4 is the sweet spot. I have mine at 23 3/4 because I have extended shackles on the rear.

I do have 35 inch tires however my steering wheel doesn't sit straight it sits at 1 and not 12 so I'm going back to the tire place today and have them set it to 23.5

It was at 25! So I'm lowering it down to 23.5 tonight I knew something wasn't right when driving it I could feel something weird thank god I didn't take it wheeling this past weekend or I feel something could have happened
